The Decline of Western Civilization (Part 2: Bankers, Barkers and Religion…)
Christian God
But first my Sunday confession, Father: I’ve been called Communist and I’ve been called Jihadi. Liberals call me a Conservative. Conservatives call me a Liberal. It’s all true. I’m a contrary son-of-a-b*tch, known to act as the devil’s avocado, barely ripe, slippery when wet, but not merely for the sake of argument, I swear, but to try to reach some higher truth, later if not sooner, and for all our sakes, not just my own. When I lived in Berkeley I WAS conservative. When I lived in Mississippi I WAS liberal. Doctrines are there to be challenged, and dogma is there to be run over by karma…
Now we all know how stupid are the tea-party wing of America’s Republican political party, but that doesn’t mean that Democrats are all geniuses (genii?). The difference between conservatives and liberals, or republicans and democrats, which basically defines the power relationships in the world, is basically the difference between the two types of people in the world: those who save their money—or resources—and those who don’t. Please note, Republicans, that I didn’t use the word ‘lazy’ and I don’t intend to, as I don’t think that is the fundamental issue. (More …)
I mean, do I have to be the one to say: “Miley, could you please put some clothes on, because 1) You’re embarrassing yourself; and all the rest of us, 2); and 3) ISIL is threatening to hold hostages until you do? We got the gist of it, you know, your point, both of them: the inverse proportions between fame and clothing, twerking and working, etc., but you can give it a rest now; you’re getting older; and there are other people in the world, also, who shouldn’t necessarily be subjected to your bad taste, without going into the question of your right to do it. Your ‘fluid’ sexuality will be intact, and we’ll even throw in a box of M&M’s…
